    I am writing a script to cleanup wsus more in depth.

    I need the command to find the update file location on the WSUS server

    From my research I belleive it should be something like Update.FileUri however I cannot get this to return any results

    Code so far

    [reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration")
    $wsus = [Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.AdminProxy]::GetUpdateServer();

    $approveState = 'Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.ApprovedStates' -as [type]

    $updateScope = New-Object Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.UpdateScope -Property @{
        ApprovedStates = $approveState::Declined
    }
    $Declined = $wsus.GetUpdates($updateScope)| Where {$_.IsSuperseded -eq $True - or $_.PublicationState -eq "Expired"}
    #Write-Host $Declined.count
    If ($Declined.count -GT 0) {
        $Counter = 0
        $Declined | ForEach-Object {
        $Counter = $Counter + 1
        Write-Host $Counter of $Declined.count $_.Title $_.FileUri
        }
        }
    Else
    {
    Write-Host No updates Fount to Remove
    }

    Hi Robert,

    We can use IUpdate.GetInstallableItems method to get the installable items of the specific update.

    Then we can use "select -Expand Files" to get the file uri of the update.

    I tested it in my lab, it works prolerly. Here is the screenshot of my lab:

    Here is the technical reference of IUpdate.GetInstallableItems method.

    Best Regards.

    Thanks for the reply Steven, this is certainly what I am after except that I need it to pass just the fileuri to a collection. also is it possible to see it referenced as the local drive as is seen in the WSUS console Update, File Information.

    as a second question can we find the language.

    Thanks

    Robert
